Primary improvements for this build are new network code, which features now-
working anti-lag, and bandwidth reduction. Please read the release notes for more info.

Make sure you have scenario MML installed! This will keep M1A1 joiners from joining Marathon Infinity games, etc., but everyone has to have it installed.

Which OS X version is the Universal/Intel build and which one is the PowerPC build?

Also, there seems to be no OS 9 version.

[Mordekai]

The NIBs version is the PPC one.

[Shadowbreaker]

I would love you if you made an OS 9 build. The os 9 build I've got turns the screen black when you close the preferences.

[treellama]

Oops, the OS 9 build is at http://www.treellama.org/alephone.php

The only thing that's different from pre1 for OS 9 (since there's no networking in classic) is the terms work

[Kidtofu]

Wait.....the Nibs one is the one for PPC? ....then why the hell is the Intel one working for me!?

[treellama]

The Mac OS X one at the top is the Universal Binary, and the recommended version.

The "NIBs" version is the carbon/Aqua version, which is PowerPC only and being phased out.

[Switch]

Wait.....the Nibs one is the one for PPC? ....then why the hell is the Intel one working for me!?

Because theres no such thing as 'Intel only', just PPC(NIBs) and Universal(SDL). PPC(NIBs) will run natively on ppc processors and on Intel procesors through Rosetta, universal(SDL) will run natively on both ppc processors and Intel procesors. Both will run on your system, but If your using an Intel mac the Universal(SDL) build will run faster and probably be less buggy.

EDIT: oops, Treellama beat me to it

[John Drake]

About me not being able to use it:

The application error says "SDL -123" or something like that and it "unexpectedly quits".
Could someone please help me with this?

[treellama]

Any error message printed in the log file?

Does 0.17pre2 NIBs work for you?

[John Drake]

NIBS works fine. That is why I don't file bug reports; most of the time it's my fault. Thanks for the help.

[Dieselfame3]

is this the offical shizzle (newest stable build) or is this like a public beta?

[Samus]

WOOOOO! it finally plays well, (I think unless it was cause I was 1v1) I hosted and played with Zott with AntiLag on and it worked fine WOOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[treellama]

Not stable, but getting there. Stable builds come from s.b.o. and sourceforge, not treellama.org

[Zott]

Some people I was playing said it made the game go Out-of-Sync, more often, but besides that one incident, I couldn't really vounch for it. Though a person did quit in the middle of the game and that might have caused it.

Other than that It didn't seem any different than normal, though I think it loads a bit nicer now.
